Thinking about joining the Wolves? Here are some things you might want to know first:

I’ve never played hockey before. Can I play with The Washington Wolves?

Maybe.

The Washington Wolves is not a learn-to-play-club, but we will on occasion accept women who are solid ice skaters even if they have little or no hockey experience. However, even in those situations, we recommend that you spend some time at a learn-to-play program or in one of the local recreational leagues before trying to join the Wolves. Both the Garden's Ice House in Laurel, Md., and the Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Arlington, Va., have programs better suited for beginners.

I’ve been playing hockey for years. Can I play?

Yes. We have two teams — one competes in the MAWHL C division and one competes in the MAWHL D division. If you have a fair bit of hockey experience under your belt, the C team is probably the best fit for you. We hold evaluations at the beginning of every season to determine the C and D team rosters.

How often do you practice?

Where are games?

For away games, we travel to Baltimore, Virginia, Pittsburgh, Hagerstown and other parts of the MidAtlantic Region.

How frequently do you play games?

Usually we have one game each weekend, though we take a break during December for the holidays. Sometimes we will schedule two games in a weekend to cut down on the number of times we have to drive far distances.

How expensive is it?

The 2013-2014 Wolves season will cost $875. You can pay all at once, or divide it into payments spaced throughout the season.
